Insurance Money: A Vacation or My Pain?

So, here's the deal: I was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease and had a rough hospital stay. My mom, who pays for my child insurance, immediately said she'd claim the money and take us all on a holiday. Seriously? I told her I didn't want a vacation—I wanted the money to help with bills or at least for myself, since I'm the one who suffered! She called me selfish and started listing all her struggles, like paying for gas and parking while I was in the hospital. Is it really fair for her to use my pain as a ticket to the beach? Shouldn't the money go to help with our real needs, not just a getaway? Am I wrong for wanting the money to go to something meaningful, or is she out of line for treating my illness like a windfall? What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤🤷‍♂️ #FamilyFinance #InsuranceDebate #MoneyConflicts #CrohnsAwareness #RomanticRelationships
